When he became a member of KISS, the band was still in their days of wearing face makeup in public, and he took the persona of a fox. After a struggle with heart cancer, he passed away in 1991. On July 25, 1995, he was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. (Bio by: Perry Claeys)
Downing, Andrew Jackson (October 31, 1815 – July 28, 1852)
| Architect
One of America's premier landscape architects, he wrote many books on the subject and thus, by reputation was dubbed "The Apostle of Taste." His work included locales in New York State's Hudson River Valley, at Newport, Rhode Island's "cottages" and in The Capitol Mall at Washington, D.C. where a huge urn stands as a memorial to him in the garden of The Smithsonian Castle - the first monument dedicated on The Mall. A.J. Downing was interred in The Old Town Cemetery in Newburgh until the 1870s at which time his grave was relocated to Cedar Hill Cemetery. (Bio by: John T. Chiarella)
